Think of it this way, hannukah harry (and this is a simplification, as is damn near any post about the Israel issue)...
We may have won the war in Iraq, but the people there will only allow the US to perform limited actions. Occupying a land is a tricky, blood soaked task, regardless of history or cultural imperative. Any overtly hostile action that Israel takes will undoubtedly harden resistance against it. Whatever you believe about the issue, it should be obvious that Israel can't just expel all of it's "enemies" at will (there are already thousands upon thousands of resentful refugees out there).. Israel may be one tough fucking coutry, but they can't survive with no one on their side.
